Unit 2Text A技术与幸福Technology and Happiness詹姆斯·萨洛维奇PrefaceIn the present era, all of us are enthusiastically pursuing technological advancement and take it for granted that the development of technology will make us happier. However, little evidence can be found to prove the correlation between technology and happiness once material and technological advances reach a certain level. The text below may provide you with some insights into this issue.20世纪的美国人、欧洲人和东亚人都享受到了过去历代人都无法想象的物质和技术进步带来的乐趣。

譬如，在美国，从1950年到2000年国民生产总值翻了3倍。

人们的寿命大幅度提高。

二战后生产力的迅速发展使商品变得价廉物美。

诸如乘飞机旅游和打长途电话等曾经是奢侈的事情成了生活不可或缺的一部分。

In the 20th century, Americans, Europeans, and East Asians enjoyed material and technological advances that were unimaginable in previous eras. In the United States, for instance, gross domestic product per capita tripled from 1950 to 2000. Life expectancy soared. The boom in productivity after World War II made goods better and cheaper at the same time . Things that were once luxuries, such as jet travel and long-distance phone calls, became necessities. And even though Americans seemed to work extraordinarily hard, their pursuit of entertainment turned media and leisure into multibillion-dollar industries.那么，根据大多数标准衡量，你会说，现在的美国人比上个世纪中叶富裕多了。

A我们需要的感激A ?J ?克罗宁一个晴朗的下午，我在纽约上了一辆出租车。

从司机的表情和他猛拉排挡的样子中，我可以看出他很不高兴。

我问他是怎么回事。

“我完全有理由生气，”他怒气冲冲地说。

“今天上午我的一个乘客把钱包忘在我车里了。

里面有近300块钱。

我花了一个多小时想方设法找那个家伙。

最后我在他的宾馆里找到了他。

他拿了钱包，一声不吭地瞪着眼看着我，好像我本来打算要偷他的钱包似的。

”“他没有给你酬金？”我大声问。

“一个子儿也没有。

但我要的不是钱……”他咕哝着，然后突然大声说，“只要那个家伙说句什么……”因为他诚实的助人行为没有得到感激，那位出租车司机一整天都闷闷不乐，而且我知道以后他在做类似的好事之前会仔细考虑一下了。

这种对感激的需要是我们都能感受到的，而拒绝表示感谢则会大大扼杀善良与合作的精神。

第二次世界大战期间，辛辛那提的一位母亲收到他参军的儿子一封来信，信中提到诺曼底一个村庄中的一位妇女在他受伤饥饿时将他带到家中，帮他躲过了德国人的搜捕。

不幸的是，后来那男孩在阿登高地的进攻战中阵亡了。

然而，这位母亲却受到一种不可抗拒的愿望的驱使。

她积蓄了两年，穿过大西洋，找到了她儿子提到的那个村庄。

经过多次打听之后，她找到了那位曾经保护过她儿子的妇女——一位贫穷农夫的妻子——将一个包裹硬塞进她手里。

那是她儿子在毕业典礼上获得的一块金表，是那个男孩曾经拥有过的唯一真正有价值的东西。

这位母亲表示感激的举动深深触动了人们的心灵，在那个村庄内外成为传奇般的故事。

它比出色的演讲更能让人培养起对美国人的好感。

感激是对每一个无论大小的善行优雅地接受并表示欣赏的艺术。

我们大多数人受到款待，接受礼物和明显的好处时都不会忘记表示我们的愉悦之情，但即使在这种情况下我们也还能够完善我们表示感激的方式，让它尽可能的个人化和真诚。

最近，我和妻子在意大利南部旅游时，我给康涅狄格州的一位朋友寄去了几瓶令我们喜欢的当地佳酿。

那是件小小的礼物，然而令我们惊讶的是，我们收到的不是一封传统的感谢信而是一张电唱机唱片。

Unit 2 The Power of WordsThe Power of a NoteOn my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier (Ohio) Leader Enterprise, I didn't get a lot of fan mail, so I was intrigued by a letter that was dropped on my desk one morning.When I opened it, I read: "A nice piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the good work." It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a teenager (being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch), his words couldn't have been more inspiring. 11 kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got rag-eared. Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to be a writer, I would reread Don's note and feel confident again.Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick, encouraging word to people in all walks of life. "When I make others feel good about themselves," he told me, "I feel good too."Not surprisingly, he had a body of friends as big as nearby Lake Erie. When he died last year at 75, the paper was flooded with calls and letters from people who had been recipients of his spirit-lifting words.Over the years, I've tried to copy the example of Don and other friends who care enough to write uplifting comments, because I think they are on to something important. In a world too often cold and unresponsive, such notes bring warmth and reassurance. We all need a boost from time to time, and a few lines of praise have been known to turn around a day, even a life.Why, then, are there so few upbeat note writers? My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They're afraid they'll be misunderstood, sound sentimental or insincere. Also, writing takes time; it's far easier to pick up the phone.The drawback with phone calls, of course, is that they don't last. A note attaches more importance to our well-wishing. It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than once, savored and treasured.Even though note writing may take longer, some pretty busy people do it, including George Bush. Some say he owes much of his success in politics to his ever-ready pen. How? Throughout his career he has followed up virtually every contact with a cordial response—a compliment, a line of praise or a nod of thanks. His notes go not only to friends and associates, but to casual acquaintances and total strangers—like the surprised person who got a warm pat on the back for lending Bush an umbrella.Even top corporate managers, who have mostly affected styles of leadership that can be characterized only as tough, cold and aloof, have begun to learn the lesson, and earn the benefits, of writing notes that lift people up. Former Ford chairman Donald Peterson, who is largely credited for turning the company round in the 1980s, made it a practice to write positive messages to associates every day. "I'd just scribble them on a memo pad or the corner of a letter and pass them along," he says. "The most important ten minutes of your day are those you spend doing something to boost the people who work for you."Too often," he observed, "people we genuinely like have no idea how we feel about them. Too often we think, I haven't said anything critical; why do I have to say something positive? We forget that human beings need positive reinforcement—in fact, we thrive on it!"What does it take to write letters that lift spirits and warm hearts? Only a willingness to express our appreciation. The most successful practitioners include what I call the four "S's" of note writing.1) They are sincere. No one wants false praise.2) They are usually short. If you can't say what you want to say in three sentences, you're probably straining3) They are specific. Complimenting a business colleague by telling him "good speech" is too vague; "great story about Warren Buffet's investment strategy" is precise.4) They are spontaneous. This gives them the freshness and enthusiasm that will linger in the reader's mind long afterward.It's difficult to be spontaneous when you have to hunt for letter-writing materials, so I keep paper, envelopes and stamps close at hand, even when I travel. Fancy stationery isn't necessary; it's the thought that counts.So, who around you deserves a note of thanks or approval? A neighbor, your librarian, a relative, your mayor, your mate, a teacher, your doctor? You don't need to be poetic. If you need a reason, look for a milestone, the anniversary of a special event you shared, or a birthday or holiday. For the last 25 years, for example, I've prepared an annual Christmas letter for long-distance friends, and I often add a handwritten word of thanks or congratulations. Acknowledging some success or good fortune that has happened during the year seems particularly appropriate considering the spirit of the Christmas season.Be generous with your praise. Superlatives like "greatest," "smartest," "prettiest" make us all feel good. Even if your praise is a little ahead of reality, remember that expectations are often the parents of dreams fulfilled.Today I got a warm, complimentary letter from my old boss and mentor, Norman Vincent Peale. His little note to me was full of uplifting phrases, and it sent me to my typewriter to compose a few overdue letters of my own. I don't know if they will make anybody else's day, but they made mine. As my friend Don Wolfe said, making others feel good about themselves makes me feel good too.便笺的力量1 我当体育编辑，最早是为蒙比利埃（俄亥俄州）的《企业导报》工作，当时我很少收到体育迷的来信。

我喜欢动物劳拉·A·莫雷蒂“你觉得你为什么这么喜欢动物呢？”这是圣诞夜我的家人问我的问题。

我知道他们期待我会说些诸如“我喜欢动物是因为它们聪明、好玩”之类的话。

可是我却说：“我喜欢动物，因为它们诚实。

”“在哪方面呢？”我的一个兄弟问道——似乎诚实仅仅表现在说实话，而众所周知动物是不会说话的！他的问题引来一阵开怀大笑。

“我喜欢动物，因为它们从不假装成别人，”我继续我的回答，“动物不会伪造感情。

”圣诞晚餐吃过了，礼物也打开了，我们正坐在沙发和扶手椅上。

咖啡正端上来，于是我抓紧机会继续说。

“我喜欢动物，因为它们从生活中只索取它们需要的东西。

它们不糟蹋环境，不污染水和它们所呼吸的空气。

它们不生产大规模杀伤性武器，然后用这些武器去攻击别人——尤其是它们的同类。

我喜欢动物因为它们根本不需要那些东西。

”“那是因为它们无知，”我的姐姐争论道,“它们不做这些事是因为它们根本不知道怎么做。

”狮子们不会聚在一起，”我反击道,“来商议如何灭绝斑马——即它们的食物来源。

我想这并不是因为它们不知道怎么做，而是因为这么做会适得其反。

”他们笑了。

“我喜欢动物，”我继续道，“还因为它们不留恋过去的东西，也不把过去的东西用作现在行为的借口。

它们不去计划未来的生活，它们只活在今天，这一刻，充实地，完全地，单纯地活着。

我喜欢动物因为它们比人类活得自由得多。

”“那是因为它们不会思考,”我的一个表亲说。

“这就是差别之所在吗？”我感到疑惑。

“你是想说它们不以我们的方式思考吧。

”屋里变得异常安静。

我很惊讶我的家人竟听得如此专注。

“还有，”我想起了自己成为保护动物权益积极分子的原因，随即补充道，“动物是地球上受害最深的生物：甚于儿童，甚于妇女，甚于有色人种。

偏见使我们去剥削、利用它们，把它们当作科研工具和可消耗的商品，还去吃它们。

我们把所能想到的任何暴行都用在它们身上。

我喜欢动物，因为它们不对自己或别人做那些我们对它们做的事情。

如何变得有天赋朱利叶斯·法斯特芭芭拉·法斯特在一项对教育方法的研究中，一位教师被告知她的新班中全是有非凡天赋的孩子。“你应该从他们那儿获得高于平均水平的成绩，”有人这样通知她，而到了期末她所得到的正是这个——超出平均水平的成绩。这件事的引人注目之处在于事实上这个班的学生并非异乎寻常。他们只是一群中等水平的、智商处于正常范围之内的学生。这位老师被告知的并不是他们真实的潜力。这项研究揭示了许多关于教学和孩子问题的许多答案，但它留下的未回答的问题更多。但它的确非常清晰地表明了一点，即当一个孩子相信老师的期望是真诚的时候，他通常是不会辜负这种期望的。一个没有回答的问题是：那位老师是以什么方式向学生们表明他们是特殊的，能取得优异成绩的呢？她没有用许多话告诉他们这一点，但显然在她的态度中有某种东西使学生们确信他们是有非凡天赋的。进一步的研究表明，老师态度中那种特别的“东西”，一部分是她给全班布置的作业，一部分是她布置作业的方式。但最强有力的“东西”还是老师本人和她对全班学生及其能力的态度。当她说“你们是聪明的孩子”时，她的声音中有更多的信心和关注。一直有一种鼓励性的语气在告诉他们他们会取得进步，很大的进步。孩子们收到了这些信号，并对它们作出了积极的反应。某个学生的成绩达不到老师的期望是常有的事。当这种情况发生时，那个学生面对的不是失望、愤怒或恼怒。相反，老师认为这是一次例外，一件偶然的事情，倒霉的一天，一次暂时的失误——而学生相信了她，并消除了疑虑。下一次，他更加努力了，决心做到老师知道他能做到的事。很难精确地确定老师传达的信息：“我期待着最好的成绩，”中到底是哪一部分告诉了孩子。它的一部分包括显示信心的平和语调，言语上的耐心，及没有讽刺、贬低和恼怒等消极因素。期待着最好成绩的老师满怀信心地提问，因为她知道她得到的答案将是正确的，而孩子也感受到了那种信心。这一信息大多是通过声音传递的，但也有相当惊人的一部分表现在态度、接触和面部表情上。跟这个对“天才”儿童所做的实验相类似的实验也在“天才”老鼠的身上做了。一位科学家得到的是一群普通的老鼠，但却被告知它们是一个特殊的品种，曾接受过在创记录的时间里穿越迷宫的训练。在与这些老鼠一起工作时，这位科学家发现它们确实比其他老鼠学得快，穿越迷宫也的确更迅速。但是老鼠对我们的语言一无所知。那位科学家是怎样得以将他的期望传达给它们的呢？对实验中所有变量的检查表明，这些异常好的结果应归功于他对待老鼠的方式，他对它们讲话的方式和语调，他声音中的信心、安抚和确定无疑。老鼠理解了所有的信息，并照着做了。从更广泛的角度看这两个实验，那位老师和那位科学家都运用了一个对所有社会各个阶层的人都通用的原则——贴标签原则。我们所有的期待都带有偏见，我们对于不同的人有着完全不同的期望，甚至对各个民族也是如此。我们依据民族特点来判断人。我们认为美国人贪婪，想赚大钱，我们在心里给他们贴上了这样的标签。我们给德国人贴的标签是整洁而有条理，英国人是冷漠、不友好和矝持寡言，意大利人是易动感情，日本人彬彬有礼——等等等等。我们在一个非常宽阔的、远非同质的群体上贴了一张非常狭小的标签。我们在种族层面上也是这样。黑人有音乐感，印第安人坚忍，东方人神秘莫测。我们甚至给性别贴上标签——男人积极进取、女人消极被动。在家庭层面上，标签有时是由邻居们贴上的。“琼斯一家都是废物……总是依靠救济。”有时标签也许是由那家人自己贴的。“我们史密斯一家宁愿挨饿也不会请求政府帮助！”史密斯家的男孩因带着这个令人敬畏的独立标签长大，很容易与自己的标签名实相符，正如琼斯家的女孩很容易与她的标签名实相符一样：“他们都认为我们是废物？那我就表现得像废物！”这种标签也许不太全面，甚至带有性别歧视。某个家庭也许会自豪地说，“我们家的男人一直都是专业人员。”当这个家庭里的一个儿子比尔发现木工活是他最喜爱的工作时，他便面对着同家庭的冲突——以及同自己的冲突。他内心的力量也许能使他按照自己的意愿坚持到底，成为一个木匠，但另一方面他也知道他没有符合家庭的标签，因此他怀着一种负罪感度过一生。他甚至可能给自己创造标签。“我是一个失败者，真的。”即使比尔在自己这一行里是个成功者，经过一段时间以后拥有了自己的企业，比他当律师的兄弟鲍勃赚的钱还多，那也没用。比尔仍然不是一个专业人员，因此他内心的标签上仍然写着失败。在家庭内部贴标签很早便开始了。在宝宝听得懂口头语言之前，他便能对肢体语言和间接交流作出反应了。他在懂得词语之前，已经从父母的声音中感受到爱，他也感受到嫌弃、冷淡、恐惧或敌意，他也对这些情绪作出了反应。如果他得到的是爱和温柔，他也以爱和温柔作出反应。以后，当他理解言语时，他便接受他的标签。吉米是家里的乖孩子，而一向难弄的莎莉则得到了惹是生非者的标签。每个孩子除了名字外还得到一个标签。她是聪明的。他爱出风头。诺曼老是迟到。贝蒂不招人爱。芭芭拉很冷漠。杰克很野。纳塔莉很甜，等等等等。这些标签也许反映了事实。纳塔莉也许很甜，但往往是标签把现实强加于孩子身上。如果纳塔莉经常听到别人说她很甜，她便开始表现得很甜。你往往会使自己与你的标签名实相符。同样，参加教学实验的学生们被加上了聪明的标签，于是他们便设法变得聪明，超常地发挥了他们的许多当面或在电视上听我讲话的人，或者那些读到我讲话的人都以为我的学历远远不止八年级。这一印象完全归功于我在监狱中的学习。这是在查尔斯顿监狱真正开始的，当时宾比第一次让我对他渊博的知识感到了羡慕。无论参与什么交谈，宾比总是起着主导作用，而我也曾经试图效仿他。但我找到的每本书中，几乎每句句子都有一个以上甚至几乎全部的单词我压根儿不认识。当我跳过那些词时，我最终当然不知道书中所云。所以我来到诺福克监狱时，仍然只有看看书的意愿。要不是我后来获得了动力，我本来很快就会连这些愿望也丢弃的。我明白我最好是能弄到一本字典——为的是学习，学一些单词。幸好我还想到应该努力提高一下自己的书写水平。我的书写很糟糕，甚至于不能将字写在一条直线上。这两个想法促使我要求诺福克监狱学校给我一本字典以及一些便笺簿和铅笔。头两天我还拿不定主意，只是随便翻了翻字典。我从来没有意识到会有这么多单词！我不知道哪些词是我需要学习的。最后，为了开始某种行动，我便开始了抄写。我把印在第一页上的所有东西甚至标点符号，慢慢地、费力地、歪歪斜斜地抄到了我的便笺簿里。我记得那花了我一天的时间。然后，我便把写在便笺簿上的每个词大声读给自己听。我一遍又一遍地把自己写的东西大声读给自己听。第二天早上醒来时我还想着那些词——我无比自豪地意识到，我不仅一下子写了那么多，还写了许多我从来不知道存在于这个世界上的词。而且，我稍微动一下脑筋还能记得其中许多词的意思。我复习了那些被我忘记了意思的单词。有趣的是，就在此刻，词典第一页上的“土豚”一词竟跳入了我的脑海之中。字典上有它的一幅插图，一种长尾、长耳、会挖洞的非洲哺乳动物，以白蚁为食，像食蚁动物捕食蚂蚁那样伸出舌头来捕食白蚁。我完全被迷住了，于是又继续干下去——我抄写了字典的下一页。当我学习它时我获得了同样的体验。随着以后的每一页，我还了解了人物、地方和历史事件。实际上字典就像一部小型百科全书。最后，字典的A部分抄满了一整本便笺簿——于是我便继续抄写B部分。我就这样开始抄写了整本字典。如此多的实践帮我提高了书写速度，所以以后我抄得快多了。包括我写在便笺簿上的词和写的信，我猜我在后来的囚禁日子里足足写下了一百万词。我认为随着词汇量的增加，我肯定能第一次拿起一本书来读并开始理解书中讲的内容了。任何一个博览群书的人都能想象得出那个被打开的新世界。让我告诉你一些事；从那以后直到我离开那所监狱，在我的每一段空闲时间里，我不是在图书馆里看书，就是在我的床上看书。你哪怕用楔子也休想把我跟书分开。我学习穆罕默德先生的教导，我跟别人通信，我会客，我读书，日子就这样一个月一个月地过去了，我甚至没有想到自己是在坐牢。事实上，在那之前，我在生活中从来没有那样真正自由过……正如你能想象的，尤其在一个特别强调改造的监狱里，如果一个犯人表现出对书籍异乎寻常的强烈兴趣，他就会受到赞许。犯人中有相当多的博览群书者，尤其是受广欢迎的辩论家。一些人被公认为活的百科全书。他们几乎成了名人。当这个新世界，这个能够阅读并理解的新世界向我敞开时，我贪婪地阅读文学作品，数量之多超过了任何一所大学对任何一个学生的要求。我在自己的房间里比在图书馆里读得更多。一个以读书多而出名的犯人能超出规定借出更多的书。我更喜欢在与外界完全隔绝的自己的房间里读书。当我发展到开始读非常严肃的读物时，每天晚上10点左右，我会因为“熄灯”而愤怒不已。它似乎总是在我正读到引人入胜之处时来跟我捣乱。幸好在我的门外面有一盏走廊灯把光线照到我的房间里。一旦我的眼睛适应之后，这点光线就足以让我读书。所以“熄灯”后，我就坐在地板上，借着那点光继续读书。夜间看守每隔一小时就走过每个房间。每次听到越来越近的脚步声，我就跳到床上假装睡觉。看守一走过去，我就从床上回到地板上那块亮的地方，再读上58分钟——直到看守再次走过来。这样一直持续到每天凌晨三四点钟。每天晚上睡三四个小时对我来说就足够了。在流落街头的那些日子里我经常睡得更少。我经常思考阅读为我打开的那些新的远景。我当时在狱中就知道，阅读已永远改变了我的人生历程。正如我现在所认识到的，阅读能力唤醒了在我内心潜伏已久的对于思想活跃的渴望。我当然不是在追求任何学位，那只是大学授予学生一种地位象征的方式。我通过自学所受到的教育使我每读一本新书就更意识到正在折磨着美国黑色人种的聋、哑和盲。不久前，一位英国作家从伦敦打来电话问了我几个问题。其中一个问题是，“你的母校是哪儿？”我告诉他，“是书。”在任何一个空闲的十五分钟里，你都会发现我在学习一些我觉得可能有助于黑人的东西……每次乘飞机，我都带一本想读的书——至今已读了很多书。如果我现在不是每天出来同白人斗争，我会将余生用于阅读，仅仅是为了满足我的好奇心——因为你几乎说不出什么东西是我不感到好奇的。我想任何人都没有像我那样从坐牢中获得了那么多。事实上，如果我的生活是另一个样子，如果我上了大学，我就不能像在监狱里那样能更集中地进行学习。我想上大学最大的麻烦之一就是有太多让人分心的事。除了监狱还有什么地方能让我有时候每天集中学习15个小时来克服我的愚昧无知呢？

21世纪大学英语4课文翻译

Unit 1-Part B探究DIY的价值前几天，我花了两个多小时拆装马桶的水箱。

它的冲水功能出了点问题，我想看看我自己能不能修好它，我确实把它修好了；有个小零件坏了，更换它并非难事。

水管工10分钟就能解决这个问题，并且很可能向我收取25或50美元的服务费。

在我们这个区域是这个价钱，在别的地方可能更高。

最近还有一天，我用了差不多4个小时做了一个能自己行走的电动小蜘蛛。

我做这个主要是为了学会使用阿尔杜伊诺（一种开源电子原型平台），因为我想用它来为我们家做一些能活动的圣诞展示灯，也许有一天还可以出售。

在这个过程中，我唯一收获的只有属于我自己的知识。

几个月前，我拆了热水器的一部分想看看指示灯为什么不亮了。

我自己找出了需要替换的零件，订购了新的零件，并把它装好。

修好它总用花了大概4个小时。

我自己修节省了一点钱，但是我也觉得这样的时薪不太划算。

每当我向朋友们和家人描述这些事的时候，他们中许多人直摇头，问我为什么要这么麻烦。

既然我可以直接去商店买一个类似的，或是打电话叫修理工来，而不是“浪费”大量的时间自己做，为什么还要花这么多是啊金去做这样的事呢？原因有很多。

一言以蔽之，我相信从长远来说，多做些这样的事情终究是可以节省很多金钱和时间的，并能有效地缓解压力。

当然也有一些其他的原因。

首先，每当我自己修理的时候，我知道如果让我再做一次会容易很多。

倘若我的马桶又不能冲水了，即便这次的原因与前几天那次故障的原因有一点点相似之处，我也可以在15或20分钟内修好，而不需要两个小时。

招来修理工、确保他进入浴室，以及和他沟通所花的时间件简直相当于自己来完成所需的时间，而且后者更省钱。

第二，在承担诸如此类任务的过程中，我学到了一些别的东西。

“艾米莉?迪金森的诗歌直到她去世后被人承认，”西蒙顿说。“但她不是为了名而写的。詹姆斯?乔伊斯也是如此，他没有多费时间去担心有多少人会读他的《为芬尼根守灵》。”
如今，研究者们有证据证明，对工作的内在热情是出类拔萃的一个关键。现任哈佛大学工商管理教授特蕾莎?阿玛贝尔1985年在布兰代斯大学主持的一项研究中，要求一批专业作家----其中没有一位是有名气的----各写一首短诗。当时每位作家被随机分别编到三个小组中：一个小组要求记住是为金钱而写；另一个小组要求想着只为消遣而写；第三个小组则没有给任何指示。
因此，商人一般当不了好领袖。他们往往是实用主义者，他们认为一旦你说明了某件事情有道理，人们就会去做。但是历史表明这种想法是错误的。当时世变得艰难时，人们不想被得知出了什么问题，不想听人训斥，不想了解许多他们不懂的复杂数据和计划（比如卡特的能源政策）。他们想要受到感动、得到鼓舞、有人激励、有人安慰、感到振奋---总而言之，想有人来领导！
首先，他必须使我们的愿望变得崇高，让我们相信我们正在参与创造伟大的历史，并赋予我们一种荣誉感。温斯顿?丘吉尔通过纯粹的修辞艺术，把英国的失败和1940年的敦刻尔克大撤退变成了大胜利。富兰克林?D?罗斯福的话把美国舰队在珍珠港的沉没变成了动员全国的战斗口号，而不是不光彩的国耻。领袖必须激发我们的热情，而不是唤起我们的理性。
一位中国哲人曾经说过，领袖必须具备优秀舞蹈家的风度，这话很有道理。领袖应该知道如何显得轻松自信。他的步态应该坚定果断。他应该像林肯、罗斯福、杜鲁门、艾克和肯尼迪那样会纵情欢笑，而不是个像尼克松或卡特那样笑得龇牙咧嘴、令人恶心算是心情不错。罗纳德?里根受过的演技训练在他跟卡特的辩论中显示出了良好的效果。他以潇洒自如的举止和显而易见的和蔼可亲成功地给人一种印像，即他事实上是总统而卡特是挑战者。

课文A参考译文Unit 1冰雪卫士——奈拉？B?史密斯人们常说骄兵必败。

就拿拿破仑和希特勒来说吧，他们取得的一个又一个的胜利让他们相信自己战无不胜，没有什么可以阻挡他们，但俄罗斯的冰雪卫士会证明他们是错的。

1 1812年，法国皇帝拿破仑?波拿巴率领大军进入俄罗斯。

他为面对俄罗斯人民保卫家园而要进行的坚决抵抗做好了准备。

他想到了要经过长途跋涉才能到达俄罗斯的首都莫斯科，为此也做好了准备。

但他没有为在莫斯科会遭遇到的劲敌——俄罗斯阴冷刺骨的寒冬——做好准备。

2 1941年，纳粹德国元首阿道夫?希特勒对当时被称作苏联的俄罗斯发起了进攻。

希特勒的军事力量无可匹敌。

他的战争机器扫除了欧洲大部分地区的抵抗。

希特勒希望在最短的时间内结束战斗，但是，就像他的前人拿破仑一样，他得到了惨痛的教训。

俄罗斯的冬天又一次帮助了苏维埃士兵。

拿破仑发起的战役3 1812年春，拿破仑在俄国边境集结60万大军。

这些士兵都训练有素，有很强的作战能力，而且都有精良的装备。

这支军队被称为“大军”。

拿破仑对迅速胜利充满信心，预言要用5个星期攻下俄国。

4 不久，拿破仑的大军经过涅曼河进入俄国。

拿破仑所期盼的迅速、决定性的胜利并没有出现。

令他吃惊的是，俄国人并没有反抗。

相反，他们一路向东撤退，沿途焚毁庄稼和房屋。

“大军”紧追不舍，但它的前进很快由于后勤补给缓慢而停顿下来。

5 到了8月，法军和俄军在斯摩棱斯克开火，在这次战役中，双方各有上万人死在战场上。

可是，俄国军队又能继续向自己领土的纵深撤退。

拿破仑并没有取得决定性的胜利。

此刻他面临着一个生死攸关的抉择：是继续追击俄军，还是为了度过即将来临的冬天而把军队驻扎在斯摩棱斯克呢？6 拿破仑决定冒险向远在448公里之外的莫斯科进发。

1812年9月7日，法俄两军在鲍罗季诺展开激烈的战斗，此地在莫斯科以西112公里外。

夜幕降临时，法军和俄军分别有3万和4.4万名士兵的死伤。

7 俄国军队再次撤退到安全的地方。

Text B Education Methods: East and WestText-related InformationIndividualism: is one of the dominant values. The individualistic theory of human nature holds that the interests of a person are best served by allowing him maximum freedom and responsibility for choosing his objectives and the means for obtaining them, and acting accordingly. This belief follows from the opinion that each person is the best judge of his own interests, and given educational opportunities, can discover how to advance them. It is also based upon the assumption that the act of making these choice contributes to the development of the individual and to the welfare of society. So it is most important for individuals to be allowed full opportunity to achieve material success through their efforts. Society, from this point of view, is seen as only a collection of individuals, each of which is a self-contained and almost self-sufficient entity.Reading SkillsPredicting Content from the Topic SentencesScanning a text before you read it can be a very useful way to improve your comprehension if you keep your mind active as you scan. Predicting the content of the text on the basis of the first sentence of each paragraph---sometimes on just part of the first sentences!---is one of the most helpful kinds of mental activities. Although we may not be able to predict every detail from the first sentences---and although a writer may surprise us with unexpected ideas---we can often anticipate the general direction the author is going to. This reading skill can help us understand the text better when we go back for a closer reading---or give us a good idea of where in the text to look for answers to specific questions.Text AnalysisPart I (para.1-2) Cultural difference: a Canadian teacher was startled by what she saw in a Japanese class.Part II (para.3-5) Analysis of the difference: many Western societies are made up of people with different cultures, while in Japan, most people share the same language and culture.Part III (para.6-7) Advantages and disadvantages with each of the two different cultures.Words & Expressions for checkup1.

2A1|技术与幸福| 詹姆斯·萨洛维奇 20世纪的美国人、欧洲人和东亚人都享受到了过去历代人都无法想象的物质和技术进步带来的乐趣。

譬如，在美国，从1950年到2000年国民生产总值翻了3倍。

人们的寿命大幅度提高。

二战后生产力的迅速发展使商品变得价廉物美。

诸如乘飞机旅游和打长途电话等曾经是奢侈的事情成了生活不可或缺的一部分。

2那么，根据大多数标准衡量，你会说，现在的美国人比上个世纪中叶富裕多了。

不过，奇怪的是，如果你问美国人有多幸福，你会发现，他们并不比1946年时幸福（1946年正式开始对幸福状况进行调查）。

事实上，那些说自己“非常幸福”的人所占的比例自20世纪70年代以来一直稳中有降——尽管20世纪40年代出生的人的收入在他们的工作生涯中平均增长了116％。

你可以在大多数发达国家找到相似的数据。

3自工业革命开始以来，幸福与技术之间的关系一直是社会批评家和哲学家们长期研究的课题，然而，基本上还没有受到经济学家和社会学家们的关注。

经济学家理查德·伊斯特林在经济繁荣和幸福的关系方面进行了具有开拓性的研究，并于1974年发表了一篇题为“经济增长改变人类命运吗？”的著名论文。

伊斯特林表明，就发达国家而言，一个国家的收入和国民的幸福之间没有真正的相互关系。

伊斯特林认为，金钱买不到幸福，至少在（金钱）达到了一定程度以后是如此。

伊斯特林认为，尽管贫穷与苦难密不可分，但是，一个国家一旦达到稳定的中产阶级水平，富有似乎并没有让其国民感到更多的幸福。

4这好像几乎是一种普遍现象。

实际上，研究幸福的学者们最重要的观点之一是：人们对好消息很快便习以为常。

拿彩票中奖者为例。

一项重要的研究表明，尽管买彩票中奖的人中奖时会感到非常非常幸福，可这种兴奋很快就消逝了。

一段时间之后，他们的心情和幸福感与中奖之前没有什么两样。

5人们对待技术的态度也是一样的：无论一种新事物多么引人注目，也无论它使我们的生活变得多么舒适，人们都认为这是理所当然的事情。

We Need GratitudeA.J.CroninOn a fine afternoon in New York, I got into a taxi. From the driver's expression and the way he slammed in his gears, I could tell that he was upset. I asked him what was the trouble. "I've got good reason to be sore," he growled. "One of my fares left a wallet in my cab this morning. Nearly three hundred bucks in it. I spent more than an hour trying to trace the guy. Finally I found him at his hotel. He took the wallet without a word and glared at me as though I'd meant to steal it.""Not a cent. But it wasn't the dough I wanted..." he fumbled, then exploded, "If the guy had only said something..."Because his helpful, honest act had not been appreciated, that cabdriver's day was poisoned, and I knew he would think twice before rendering a similar service. The need for gratitude is something we all feel, and denial of it can do much to harm the spirit of kindness and cooperation.During World War II a mother in Cincinnati received a letter from her son in the army in which he spoke of a woman in a village in Normandy who had taken him into her home when he was wounded and hungry, and hidden him from the Germans. Later on, unhappily, the boy was killed in the Ardennes offensive. Yet the mother was moved by an irresistible intention. She saved up for two years, crossed the Atlantic and located the village referred to by her son. After many inquiries, she found the woman who had sheltered her son—the wife of an impoverished farmer—and pressed a package into her hand. It was the gold wristwatch her son had received on his graduation, the only object of real value the boy had ever possessed. The mother's act of gratitude so touched people's hearts that it has become something of a legend in and around the village. It has done more than fine speeches to foster good feeling toward Americans.Gratitude is the art of receiving gracefully, of showing appreciation for every kindness, great and small. Most of us do not fail to show our pleasure when we receive hospitality, gifts and obvious benefits, but even here we can perfect our manner of showing gratitude by making it as personal and sincere as possible. Recently, when touring in southern Italy with my wife, I sent to a friend in Connecticut several bottles of a local wine which had taken our fancy. It was a trifling gift, yet to our surprise, instead of the conventional letter of thanks, we receive a phonograph record. When we played it, we heard our friend's voice speaking after dinner, describing how he and his guests had enjoyed the wine and thanking us for our thoughtfulness. It was pleasant to have this unusual proof that our gift had been appreciated.Gratitude is sometimes more than a personal affair. My son, studyingmedicine at McGill University, told me of a patient brought into hospital in Montreal whose life was saved by a blood transfusion. When he was well again he asked: "Isn't there any way I can discover the name of the donor and thank him?" He was told that names of donors are never revealed. A few weeks after his discharge he came back to give a pint of his own blood. Since then he has returned again and again for the same purpose. When a surgeon commented on this splendid record of anonymous service, he answered simply: "Someone I never knew did it for me. I'm just saying 'thanks'".It is a comforting thought that gratitude can be not merely a passing sentiment but a renewal which can, in some instances, persist for a lifetime. A husband who recalls appreciatively some generous or unselfish act on his wife's part, or a wife who never forgets the gifts her husband has given her, does much to keep the domestic wheels spinning smoothly. W.H. Hudson, British author and naturalist, has written: "One evening I brought home a friend to share our usual evening meal. Afterward he said to me:‘you are fortunate to have a wife who, despite ill health and children to look after, cooks such excellent meals.' That tribute opened my eyes and taught me to show gratitude for my wife's day-to-day heroism, which I had hitherto taken for granted."It is, above all, in the little things that the grace of gratitude should be most employed. The boy who delivers our paper, the milkman, the mailman, the barber, the waitress at a restaurant, the elevator operator —all oblige us in one way or another. By showing our gratitude we make routine relationships human and render monotonous tasks more agreeable.A patient of mine in London who worked as a bus conductor once confided to me, "I get fed up with my job sometimes. People grumble, bother you, haven't got the right change for their tickets. But there's one lady on my bus morning and evening, and she always thanks me in a particularly friendly way when I take her ticket. I like to think she's speaking for all the passengers. It helps me to keep smiling."Arnold Bennett had a publisher who boasted about the extraordinary efficiency of his secretary. One day Bennett said to her, "Your employer claims that you are extremely efficient. What is your secret?" "It's not my secret," the secretary replied. "It's his." Each time she performed a service, no matter how small, he never failed to acknowledge it. Because of that she took infinite pains with her work.Some persons refrain from expressing their gratitude because they feel it will not be welcome. A patient of mine, a few weeks after his discharge from the hospital, came back to thank his nurse. "I didn't come back sooner," he explained, "because I imagined you must be bored to death with people thanking you.""On the contrary," she replied, "I am delighted you came. Few realize how much we need encouragement and how much we are helped by those whogive it."Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build up their philosophy of life.一个晴朗的下午，我在纽约上了一辆出租车。
